GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — In an attempt to preserve the environment and benefit from the resources available in the Gaza Strip, a group of artists established the first eco-friendly rest house on the beach of Gaza City on five dunums. The rest house is called Al-Bahr Elna, which translates into “The Sea Is Ours.”
The rest house operates on a bartering system, which means visitors bring their own food leftovers and items they no longer use in order to be able to enter and enjoy the free services, which include hot or cold drinks and a view of the beach.
